India star batter Virat Kohli ended his century drought, reaching the three-figure mark against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup Super 4 match in Dubai. Kohli smashed an unbeaten 122 of 61, the highest score by a batter in T20Is for India, as India posted a mammoth total of 212/2. This was Kohli's 71st century in international, and his first since November 2019. As Kohli scored his maiden T20I century, people from all walks of life took to Twitter to hail the 33-year-old batter.
